HAPPY 23rd RAINBOW BIRTHDAY TO ME!

I realised before i turned 21, my birthdays were always planned by my close friends, until i hit 21. That's when i started planning for my own which i candidly planned for it to be at McDonalds, and for my 22nd, i planned a simple dinner with a group of close friends at Mind Cafe and this year, i hit 23. I told myself it's just another year and there's nothing special or significant turning 23 so i decided to scrap the celebration and pamper/reward myself with gift(s) this year instead!

Got myself a Gucci wallet as my LV was getting old. Planned a 5D4N holiday to Taiwan, flying the next day after my birthday. Set aside 1k and still deciding between the iPhone 5 or the Samsung Note 2 and lastly, get a more adult-ish watch - an Emporio Armani. Estimate of about 4 thousand dollars in total expenses. What a 23rd birthday i would say, LOL

Did not plan anything on the actual day (even though i took the day off work) as i thought i should spend the day resting and packing my luggage for my TW trip the next day. Jiaqi asked me out for dinner and i thought, why not. So i suggested meeting at NEX so i can have my favourite Ramen at Men-ichi and Ying zi decided to tag along as well (:

Image randomly grabbed from google image as i never thought of bring my camera since it's just a dinner...

 Secretly happy that Jiaqi and Yz decided to pay for my dinner, went  to walk around and up to the library as Jiaqi wanted to return her library book. It was my first time going to the NEX's library so i was pretty excited(?!) to see how it looks like. Was right infront of the book drop when i heard someone shouted, "HAPPPPPPP" I literally jumped.

The next thing i knew, Joyce (who shouted shamelessly), Weijie, Limei and Jinglong came out of nowhere with a cake!

It was a really tall cake and i was quite suspicious that it might be a rainbow cake that i always wanted but they kept saying, "Sorry to disappoint you lah, it's not a rainbow cake" blah blah blah. But still, i took out my instax camera (brought it as i wanted to try if the expired films inside still works) and took photos with everyone! It works!

I wished i brought my digital camera though. Couldn't get better quality photos or a group photo :(

Made a wish and blew the candle. Their eyes were damn eager when i made the first cut into the cake (i was super excited also as i was quite sure it was a rainbow cake. WHERE GOT CAKE SO TALL ONE?!) THEN, when i removed the knife to make another slice, I SAW DIFFERENT COLOURS ON THE KNIFE. CONFIRM GUARANTEE CHOP IS RAINBOW CAKE. Joyce still can act yi ge continue to tell me, "It's not rainbow cake lah, no need to see." -___- LOL

A REAL LIFE RAINBOW CAKE RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES. OH MY TIAN.

Everyone was raving how delicious the cake was and it totally changed our concept of "it's just a plain butter cake with colouring" I forgot where they got the cake from, but it's from this online baker i think. I heard it's not cheap also...

The design of the birthday day they designed. Literally full of shit, HAHAHAHHA

Went over to Holland Village for a drink and returned home past midnight. Luggage not pack yet, LOL

Last but not least, just wanna thank this bunch of *Cousins, mainly Jiaqi, Limei, Jing long, Joyce, Ying zi, Wei Jie, Ruo Xuan, Josh, Kaizhi and Don for making this boy's little rainbow wish come true! Love you guys deep deep!
